Texas and Temperance.

Some things are positively memor-
able from their surroundings alone.
When the Prohibition party went into
Texas-the Lone Star State-the State
Of Davy Crockett = there was the
sublimity of audacity in the act. 1t
was carrying out the very inspiration
of Danton, "To dare, to dare, always
to dare" 1t is true that this hazardous
Southern crusade had been led up to
bv Prohibition successes in Georgia
and other Southern States, and even
in Texas local option and high license
had prevailed. Still those who had
followed the career of Davy Crockett
were somewhat astonished at the pluck
of our water-drinking friends in Texas.
They had recalled the peculiar election
tactics of the hero and victim of the
Alamo. He had given one of the key
notes of current politics and ofpolitical
ethics in the memorable phrase, BE
sure you're right and then go ahead"
Every inch of his very robust manhood
was honest to his square toes. In those
old, robust days, however, in which
man had to be a great deal OF a man
to hold his own at all, Davy Crockett
made his Congressional campaign in
Texas with a whisky bottle in one
pocket and plug of tobacco in the
other. When he met farmer plough
ing i'm field he invited him to take a
drink, which necessitated the discard
ing by Agricola of his quid of tobacco.
No sooner had the whisky been abb
sorbed than Davy hauled out his
plug of tobacco from the other pocket
and requested his interlocutor, perhaps
supporter, for such methods were very
persuasive in Texas in the early days,
TO take "chaw." Quite evidently
the spirit of Davy Crockett is still
abroad in the almost unlimited Texas
land. Who shall say but that the
subtle influence of this heroic Texan
was potential in the contest which re-
suited in favor OF personal liberty?
Dropping persihage, the result OF the
Texas election on prohibition probably
marks a new departure in the South
as to prohibition legislation. Tenn
perance by law established would
seem to many persons unattainable,
and not to be desired, if attained
through coerciye methods. Cast-iron,
perfunctory and compulsory virtue is
. phase of a great sumptuary law de-
bat e as old as the hills. Every right
minded man desires to see the cause
of genuine temperance triumph. But
the Roman Catholic church, which
enjoins celibacy on its ministers, is
careful not to reduce them to the con-
dition of eunuchs. While the oldest
Christian church believes, with st.
Paul, in confluence in its ministers, it
believes in the confluence whlcn Is
voluntary, not enforced. 1t was very
witty as well as wise man VINO said
that he would rather be drunk from
choice than sober from necessity. 1t
is this ineradicable sentiment of the
human heart that the Apostles of So
briefly as By Law Established will
have to fight.
Meanwhile, it is pleasant for Cali
fornians to know that the true temper
xnce crusade is proceeding from thin.
section in the production of light and
wholesome wines which will replace
the strong and distempering liquors of
Davy Crocketts days.

A Junior member OF the wealthy
Rothschild family, who had heard
about the price of land out West, Wis
tied this country some years ago. In
a San Francisco barber shop he was
shaved, had his hair cut, shampooed
etc., for which he was charged 81.
"This is queer country" said young
Rothschild afterward to a friend; "a
shave here costs two acres of land. "
